Knd students- I am sitting here getting ready to teach math! Your coments inspired me to go a little further with today's lesson.
I am remembering when we were first togehter and I am thinking about how to incorporate all the different ways of learning in to my class at 12:15.
Thanks for a really thoughtful bunch of responses.

Class, Teaching place value is essential to all Math. Number sense is a large part of place value and connections can be made and reviewed simply through conversation. Nothing will happen for students without understanding what numbers mean! As you explore, experience and show quantities, ask questions! How? Why? What if? How many? Jan Marnocha Rospend.a, Mike.

Class-
I have had an oppertunity to do many of the items listed on the teaching place value powerpoint with the class I am in for Observations. She does calander everyday and they count the days of the year and the days left, they work with tens, patterens, the only thing left out would be the quilts. I have nt seen any quilt work. All great ideas that I have watched work.

Class, When teaching Math concepts such as place values, it's very important to remember the students need for fun. By utilizing the Burns book, You Tube, and other resources, we can fulfill students need for fun by using games to teach such an important math concept. Lindsay Zahner
Hi All,
Teaching place value can and should be fun and relevant to your students. Use games and manipulatives enable students to physically grasp the concept of place values. I wish we'd done more of the ideas from the power point when I was in school! Thanks! Silena Hammond
Class, My moto has also always been start young, don't ever assume they are too young to understand. Children's math books, as well as Mr. Rospenda and our textbook, bring to light how we can convey 10s and beyond with everyday items. The quilt references in the patterning components also reminded me of the cover and beginning introduction of our text book. Reminder that mathematics is all around us every day! Sarah
Class, The Tens Game is a great way to help children get a visual and tangible grasp of the place value concept and ensure a deeper understanding. Games such as Memory Cards offer kids a fun way to practice what they’ve learned. These are all motivating ways to make place value meaningful for young students. Lori
I feel that place value can be a very difficult concept to teach and to learn so the use of manipulatives is a must. It's a great way to get children to understand that ones can eventually makes tens and then go onto make hundreds. I think that the stacking blocks that Nikki and Ray used in their lesson plans is one of the best ways for children to see how it works and also learn how to take away and add to at the same time. -Tess
Class,
Place value can be introduced, reinforced, practiced and perfected through an unending list of crazy and fun activities and games. Here is quick idea from a veteran teacher: She sets up a bank with a "teller" where kids come and exchange their ones for tens and so on.

Class As this presentation shows there are many ways to teach place value. The thing to remember is to use multiple ways and be flexible. A student may struggle if you teach it one way but if you explain it in multiple ways the idea will get through. Ray
Class, Teaching place value is very important. It provides the building blocks to learn everything else in math. For my observation paper I watched a math teacher use manipulatives to teach place value and it worked very well. I think kids need something like that to learn such a difficult concept to teach.

Hello all,
As I read the PowerPoint I couldn't help going back to the first day of class and reading the half sheet of paper that was handed out. On the paper was a list of what makes a good teacher from Mike's 5th grade class. One of the resounding themes was to make math fun. We all understand the importance of place value but the PowerPoint gave me insight on ways I could make learning math fun and more memorable.

Hi everyone, In order to understand what the value of a number is, the student needs to know place value. Being able to determine the right method of teaching the concept is the key to teaching full comprehension, and no matter what method is chosen it should be entertaining and effective.

Hello All,
after going through the Power Point, I think the thing that stuck with me the most was my personal experience with the activities from the Burns book, namely the Logic Game. I even enjoyed it, finding the best way to quickly deduce Jim's number. I cannot help but think that young students would get so much more out of these activities and with out even realizing that they are learning about number placement and value. In all, it is these games that make the lesson relevant, the most important thing to me about knowledge is if it is relevant.

Hello All,
After going throught the power point this excercise can be used with any thing that is laying around in a students house hold. This activity can be used as a homework activity that the students can do with their parents and have a good time by using anything that is laying around. The students probably have done many of these things without even realizing what they are doing.
